Workshop: Build Your Own AI Career Assistant

This workshop will show students how to use SkillScan, ChatGPT Edu, and Hiration to better understand their strengths, explore career opportunities, and improve their resumes.

During the workshop, students will learn the difference between regular ChatGPT and Custom GPTs, build their own AI career assistant, upload their resume and SkillScan results, explore possible career paths and job opportunities, receive resume feedback, and compare recommendations from ChatGPT Edu and Hiration.

By the end of the workshop, students should leave with their own Custom GPT, a completed SkillScan assessment, a clearer career profile, resume feedback from two different tools, and resources they can continue using after the workshop.

Live from the Hackathon: SFSU Students on AI

How are students actually using AI—in education, their lives, and as they prepare for future careers?

Join in as a panel of SFSU students engage in live conversation about how they use AI, where they see value and limitations, and how they believe this technology is changing their education and the workforce they are preparing to enter.

Broadcast live from the SF Hacks X GDG AI Hackathon, student panelists will gather to discuss AI in their coursework, the potential impact on careers and the opportunities and challenges posed by the emerging technology. Audience members via Zoom will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with the student panel.

Hear directly from students and get a glimpse into the creativity, experimentation and energy happening throughout the hackathon. This panel gives SFSU community insight into the larger event, the AI Hackathon co-sponsored by SF Hacks, the SFSU chapter of Google Developer Groups (GDG) and the SFSU AI Student Commons. The hackathon runs all day on Friday, October 2, 2026; "Live from the Hackathon: SFSU Students on AI" will be held onsite at the hackathon from 12 — 1 p.m., with participants joining the conversation via Zoom (registration is required).

"Live from the Hackathon: SFSU Students on AI" is open to the SFSU campus community. All students, faculty and staff are welcome to join.

AI Literacy Essentials: Critical Analysis of Generative AI

Description: This course explores the critical analysis of generative AI to support responsible use of this technology. Learn how AI models are trained and why misinformation and biases may occur in AI-generated content. Develop strategies to analyze AI outputs and assess AI tools for quality and ethical considerations. Participants will be expected to engage in the evaluation process through collaborative, hands-on activities and reflective discussions.

This course is an elective that counts toward receiving a digital badge for the AI Literacy Education Program.   

Objectives: In this course, you will learn to:  

  • Describe how AI models are trained on data
  • Summarize how misinformation and biases occur from training data
  • Identify types of biases that arise in AI outputs
  • Critically analyze AI outputs for accuracy and potential biases
  • Explain how to critically evaluate AI tools

Duration: 60 minutes

Experience Level: Basic familiarity with generative AI chatbots like Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT
